hear what the silence screams

In just a matter of minutes, just a matter of time
We could lose it all, we could lose it all

And that was the crux of it all, wasn't it? What are you going to do about it? The thoughts rolled around and around in his mind, turning this way and that as though he could see a new path forward if he simply tried hard enough. All the way here, he'd considered options and talked himself out of every single one. He could track Wren down, but what would he do when he found her? He could try to send a message through Zavien, but there was no guarantee it would be conveyed correctly, however much he trusted the ex-Commander. Besides, this was a problem of his own making, and therefore one that he needed to fix.

"I... have one idea," he admitted slowly. "Ask the gods if she is who I think she is. And then if she is, quest for something to help her recognize me." He cracked his knuckles, suddenly restless. "But that requires her consent. I won't force her to remember me." Not when she might well be better off without him. Still, it was a better plan than he'd had when he'd entered the bar, and there was a spark of his old self back in his hazel eyes when his gaze met Thalassa's once more.

If all we are is just what we've earned
We are the destroyers
